Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable.

Tuple is one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store collections of data, the other 3 are List, Set, and Dictionary, all with different qualities and usage.

A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable.

Tuples are written with round brackets.

Question 4

Tuple Items

Answer 4

Tuple items are ordered, unchangeable, and allow duplicate values.

Tuple items are indexed, the first item has index [0], the second item has index [1] etc.

Question 5

Tuple Ordered

Answer 5

When we say that tuples are ordered, it means that the items have a defined order, and that order will not change.

Question 6

Tuple are changeable True or False

Answer 6

Tuples are unchangeable, meaning that we cannot change, add or remove items after the tuple has been created.

Question 7

Do Tuples Allow Duplicates?

Since tuples are indexed, they can have items with the same value:

Exp:

print(thistuple)
